AI总结:

本研究在外延 Al-InAs Josephson 结中观测到磁场取向依赖的超导二极管效应符号反转,并揭示其机制随超导宽度不同而变化。

摘要:

近来,超导二极管效应(SDE)研究迅速升温,部分原因在于它有可能揭示材料体系的内在性质。有限磁场下 SDE 的符号变化此前被归因于不同机制。在此,我们在具有强 Rashba 自旋轨道耦合(SOC)的外延 Al-InAs Josephson 结中观测到 SDE。我们表明,该效应强烈依赖于面内磁场的取向。在强磁场存在时,我们观测到 SDE 出现符号变化。超电流的模拟与测量表明,取决于超导宽度 $W_\ ext{S}$,这种符号变化未必与 0–$π$ 转变或拓扑转变有关。我们发现,在 $W_\ ext{S}$ 较窄的结中,最强的符号变化与磁场反转下 SOC 诱导的临界电流不对称性相符;而在 $W_\ ext{S}$ 较宽时,符号反转可能与 0–$π$ 转变及拓扑超导性有关。

英文摘要:

There has recently been a surge of interest in studying the superconducting diode effect (SDE) partly due to the possibility of uncovering the intrinsic properties of a material system. A change of sign of the SDE at finite magnetic field has previously been attributed to different mechanisms. Here, we observe the SDE in epitaxial Al-InAs Josephson junctions with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We show that this effect strongly depends on the orientation of the in-plane magnetic field. In the presence of a strong magnetic field, we observe a change of sign in the SDE. Simulation and measurement of supercurrent suggest that depending on the superconducting widths, $W_\text{S}$, this sign change may not necessarily be related to 0--$π$ or topological transitions. We find that the strongest sign change in junctions with narrow $W_\text{S}$ is consistent with SOC-induced asymmetry of the critical current under magnetic-field inversion, while in wider $W_\text{S}$, the sign reversal could be related to 0--$π$ transitions and topological superconductivity.
